Fernwood Chirnside Park celebrates a milestone year of growth, renovation and national recognition

2025 has been a transformative year for Fernwood Fitness Chirnside Park, marking one of the most exciting chapters in the club’s history. After months of planning, refining, and building, the club has officially unveiled a refreshed and modernised space designed to inspire women of all ages and fitness levels.

The renovations have not only elevated the look and feel of the club but have also expanded its offering to deliver a wider range of training opportunities to the local community.

The most anticipated additions include the brand-new FIIT30 space, a purpose-built area dedicated to Fernwood’s signature small-group training program. With sessions that are fast, functional, and designed for maximum impact, FIIT30 has become a standout option for busy women wanting real results in minimal time.

Equally exciting is the introduction of the Reformer Pilates studio. The new space has quickly become one of the most loved areas of the club. Members are enjoying improved strength, mobility, and technique through classes that cater to every level – from those stepping onto a Reformer for the first time, to seasoned Pilates enthusiasts seeking variety, progression, and a more challenging experience.

These renovations have breathed new life into the club, creating a welcoming, energising, and community-focused environment where local women feel supported in achieving their health, fitness, and wellbeing goals. Members have embraced the new facilities with enthusiasm, and the club continues to see strong growth as women seek out safe, inclusive spaces to move, connect, and thrive.

Adding to a standout year, Fernwood Chirnside Park proudly celebrated a major achievement on the national stage. In October, long-time team member Maree Knight was awarded Group Fitness Instructor of the Year at the 2025 Fernwood National Conference on the Gold Coast. This prestigious recognition celebrates not only her talent and dedication but also the vibrant, supportive community that exists within the club’s walls.

With a renewed space, expanded programs, and national recognition behind them, Fernwood Chirnside Park is entering the new year stronger than ever – ready to support even more local women on their journey to shine!
